Julie Polisher, an educator and activist who called Boulder home for nearly 20 years, passed away Nov. 3 in Corvallis, Ore. She was a person whose light and love will live on in her friends and students in Boulder. I, along with many of her students, credit Julie with the person I am today.

She saw a future for her sometimes troubled students even when they couldn't see one for themselves. She believed in the inherent goodness in all of us. She will be missed by her family and mine, I intend to continue any contributions I can make to the world in her memory -- kindness, friendship, willingness and laughter, just like she offered everyone she came in contact with.
